AT THE Dog POUND.
The Varied Stock In Trade Of the bureau o,
Encumbrances.

Encumbrances.
At the foot of East Sixteenth street is a low,
rambling building, painted a dusky yellow.
and bearing the legend, - Entrance to Dog
Pound" II is in the rear of this building
that the Bureau Of Encumbrances has its chief
yard. Now, the Bureau of Encumbrances il
rather n large name, and one might natu-
rally expect its yards to be proportionally
stable but II would appear to the casual
observer that the yards of this bureau are
hardly of that size which the word en-
cumbrance would seem to warrant. As to
the contents of the yards, il they possess no
virtue, they certainly have obtained for
themselves an extreme degree of dilapidation.
Trucks, carts and wagons Of every variety
are Unfortunately piled up against the
boundaries, where they seem to vie with
each other in their efforts to fall to pieces.
Some are, of course, in a slightly better con-
dition than others, but all are rapidly be-
coming fertilizer to enrich the mother who
gave them birth. That which was at one
time an ice wagon stands tremulously in the
centre of the yard its front wheels have
disappeared and the axle which knew them
In the past is ignominiously pressed into the
mud, where its only Joys are the memories
of its youth.
Stuck In between these once proud ~rattlers
OF the pavements are numerous signs hose
gaudy letterings may, p~erchance, at one time
have delighted the eyes of the passer-b but
who can tell what ambitions stirred the
hearts of those to whom the hanging of O sign
meant their entrance upon q successful
career? But time and dull decay" have
made these useless too.
AS one takes leave of there relics Of the
past and passes into h little building near by,
he is brought face to face with another kind
of encumbrance. Dogs-thati is, well behaved,
intelligent dogs-are pleasant and sometimes
even instructive companions; but when one
is greeted by a chorus of sixty yelping ours
his love of animals is extremely likely
to be mastered by his love of har-
mony and in that little building are
confined some fifty or sixty hitherto stray
dogs which have been caught while wander
ing about the city and shut up in this build
ing to await their execution. When a sufi-
Gent number of these encumbrances has
been obtained they are unceremoniously
thrust into an iron cage and wheeled into
East River where their sorrows and they
themselves are drowned, And these three,
wagons, signs and dogs, form the chief stock
in trade of the yards Of the Bureau of En-.
cumbrauces.

See that bloke sittin' in the corner"
asked he of an EVENING WORLD reporter in q
whisper indicating suppressed excitement.
The individual referred to was a brown
bearded, ~fne-looking man Of about thirty
wears who had seated himself comfortably in
q corner Of the car and so arranged himself
that his face was turned directly upon the
fare register. He did not seem to be regard
ing this cunningly-contrived device to pre-
vent the cheating of street railway compa-
MES, but appeared to be enjoying n gentle
sleep.
The reporter acknowledged that he could
not help seeing the man, not being blind.
and the conductor continued, Well, know
that bloke. He looks very cooney with his
half-closed eyes. He's good at figures with
his eyes shut, an you can bet he can tell
every man. woman an child that's got on
the car since he boarded her at Fourteenth
street. An what's more, he knows whether
they ell paid ami if the register recorded the
nickel every time. He's one of them sneak

and forgot to sound the registering gong.

In his desperation the conductor grasped
the register pull and gave 1t five jerks in
quick succession, which represented as many
passengers who had not boarded the car on
the trip or else had done 80 before the
supposed spotter had taken his station in the
corner.
The bearded man slowly opened his eyes,
looked at the desperate looking conductor
with an air of surprise, glanced out of the
window, saw he was at the Post Office,
